Looks like PMB is running a totalitarian government now. The first thing he did when he returned from London was to warn Nigerians about crossing national red lines, declaring that legitimate and debates about Nigeria could only take place in the National Assembly. He reiterated the same thing again in his Independence Day address.
The National Broadcasting Commission on its own part set revised guidelines for TV and Radio stations back in August, some of which included limiting Newspaper reviews, screening callers and fining stations 500k for allowing callers air “hate speech”.
[In case you missed it]: “These are the problems with NBC’s new rules”
It’s tough to say which of these problematic rules Cheta Nwanze broke whilst informing the public about the gruesome Asaba Massacre.

Terrible. I've noticed that some live phone-in programmes have within the past one week stopped in Lagos.
This must be the reason for it.— Nnamdi (@Don_Rebel5) October 4, 2017
Connects the dots. Every medium to express views are being shut. The '66 men have this country in standstill. Revisit history, no. https://t.co/d5Fz1JLzUb
